CapitaMall
Trust’s (CMT) commitment to excellent investor relations
was recognised when it won the ‘Most Transparent Company’ Award
at the Securities Investors Association Singapore (SIAS)
Investors’ Choice Awards held in September 2004, nominated
by analysts, fund managers and the media. This new REITs
category was introduced in 2004 and the winner was selected
based on criteria which included timeliness, clarity and
comprehensiveness of information disclosed. In addition,
CMT was also ranked amongst the top 10 for “Most Committed
to Strong Dividend Policy (Singapore)” and “Best
Corporate Governance (Singapore)” by Finance Asia Awards
2004. As Real Estate Investment Trusts
(REITs) have only a history of less than three years in
Singapore, they are still a relatively unfamiliar investment
product to many investors in Singapore. CapitaMall Trust
Management Limited (CMTML), the Manager of CMT, recognises
that education of the broader Singapore investment community
remains an integral function of its investor relations
activities. Result announcement briefings are conducted
every half-yearly for analysts and the media. These communication
sessions provide an opportunity for management to update
on CMT’s performance and strategies going
forward. It also provides a two-way communication platform
for the analysts and media to clarify queries and for management
to seek feedback from the investment community. With approximately 35 percent of
CMT’s shares held
by institutional investors, the Manager invests time in meeting
local and foreign fund managers regularly through one-on-one
or group meetings, conference calls, luncheons, and overseas
roadshows. During the year, the management met institutional
investors from Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, United Kingdom,
United States (US), various European cities and Australia.
Mall tours were also conducted for both Unitholders and potential
Unitholders who were keen to see the properties in CMT’s
portfolio. To further broaden our investor base, management
also attends local and overseas conferences and seminars
to reach out to potential investors and to increase awareness
for CMT.
There has been substantial interest from US and Australian
institutional funds with the increasing mandate for them
to invest in Asian REITs. This increased attention is also
attributed to CMT’s inclusion in the past year in the
European Public Real Estate (EPRA) / National Association
of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) Global Real Estate
Index and its sub-indices and the Morgan Stanley Capital
International (MSCI) Standard Index, which are widely tracked
and referred to by international fund managers as performance
benchmarks in the selection and monitoring of investments.
CMT had previously been included in the prestigious Global
Property Research GPR 250 Index and the GPR General Index. Moving forward, investor relations
will continue to be an integral function of the Manager’s time to articulate
CMT’s growth strategy to both current and potential
Unitholders in Singapore and overseas. The Manager will also
seek to uphold the highest level of corporate governance
and transparency standards by providing the investment community
with clear, concise and timely information.
